Chapter 310 Early warning from the Military Affairs Department!
The next morning, Brand got up slowly, washed up, and then had breakfast under Catherine's service.
At this time, many library members have not gotten up yet.
Although I had a really good time yesterday, because it was just for fun, I was walking on both feet the whole time and didn’t use magic to catch up.
For a mage with a weak body, the intensity of yesterday’s exercise was still a little too high.
So they had no plans to go out for fun today, but were planning to rest near the camp.
"Catherine, let's go to Furnace Town for a walk."
After breakfast, Brand stood up and walked towards Furnace Town next to the camp, with Catherine following.
At this time, there were many more merchants and adventurers coming and going in Furnace Town than yesterday.
Brand knew that this was probably because word had spread about the discovery of the "treasure" in Furnace Volcano.
Furnace Castle is not far from here, and it only takes half a day to ride a war horse.
Even if the horse is a bit short, it can definitely be reached in half a day.
At most it’s just a little bumpy on the road.
Previously, because the orc treasure was just a rumor without any evidence, many people didn't pay much attention to it.
Now, since things have been "solidified".
Then these people from Furnace Castle also took action immediately.
Brand felt that maybe not only adventurers and businessmen, but also nobles were attracted.
……
Imperial Capital, Kaya Empire Military Affairs Department.
Jonas, Director of the Military Affairs Department, who was looking at various intelligence documents, was attracted by a line of small words in the document in front of him.
[The patrol officers of Xiaoqiao Fort reported that there were suspected to be huge tauren that exceeded the size of elite tauren around. 】
As the Director of the Military Affairs Department, he knows every fortress in the border area of Northland, even every small fortress.
So when he saw the three words "Little Bridge Castle", the old gentleman recalled its location in an instant.
——The border area of Northland, located in the north of the east.
There is no doubt that Xiaoqiao Fort is within the boundary line, and the area where its soldiers patrol daily must not exceed the boundary line.
And this means that the location where the patrolling soldiers suspected of finding the "large tauren" should be within the scope of the empire's large war array.
——For a long time recently, the Imperial War Array did not issue any warning to that area.
When he thought of this, the old gentleman looked at the word "suspected" on the intelligence document and frowned slightly.
——He didn’t like to see such descriptive words.
If you see it, you see it. There is no way to say it is like seeing it.
When such a description appears, it is easy to think that the person who wrote the information may have been affected by some external factors.
For example:
Because the empire's large war array can monitor the movements of all large orcs and above-level creatures coming across the border.
So they subconsciously rejected the possibility that a large orc had escaped the monitoring of the war circle.
Jonas has always believed that nothing is perfect.
Therefore, in his opinion, it is not impossible for the orcs to find a way to deal with the war circle.
Considering this situation, Jonas even summoned the think tank of the Military Affairs Department to discuss how they should respond if such a situation arises.
Although it is not that he does not believe in the brainchild of countless mages, Jonas is not a researcher.
He will only make judgments from the position of director of the Military Affairs Department. Therefore, now that there are "signs" of the failure of the war magic circle.
To be on the safe side, it is necessary to implement the "response plan" discussed previously step by step.
......
On this day, the command room of the Sixth Infantry Regiment of the Furnace Castle Empire.
Anthony was looking at the intelligence map of the War Information Room on the screen in front of him with a leisurely expression.
Suddenly, a communication request was sent to the empty screen in front of him.
Looking at the unfamiliar space code displayed on the empty screen in front of him, Anthony frowned slightly.
Not many people know the space code of his empty screen. Apart from Mesa and allied families, only Brand and the Military Affairs Department are the only ones.
So who is contacting him?
With doubts in his heart, Anthony agreed to the communication request.
After he got through, the figure of the old gentleman Jonas sitting in the Office of the Military Affairs Department appeared in front of him.
Seeing that it was this old gentleman, Anthony quickly stood up and gave a military salute.
Unlike Brand and several other great men, as the commander of the regiment under the imperial military system, Anthony has the need to express sufficient respect for this old gentleman.
On Jonas's side, looking at Anthony who was saluting solemnly, he smiled and said:
"I haven't seen Anthony for a while, and I didn't expect that even the movable shadow I got the screen, it seems you’ve been doing pretty well recently.”
After hearing Jonas’s words, Anthony smiled and said:
"I happen to have some friendship with Brand, so I exchanged three great knight golems with him for such an empty screen."
Hearing this, Jonas nodded and said:
"It is normal for masters of rune formations to charge high fees. More people have various resources but cannot hire such masters."
After making such a simple comment, Jonas said It’s time to get down to business:
“Let’s stop chatting here. I’m contacting you this time for serious business.
Yesterday, the Imperial Military Affairs Department received a report from Xiaoqiao Fort that their patrol soldiers saw a tauren the size of an orc.
Considering that there may be large orcs that have escaped the monitoring of the empire's large war array, the Military Affairs Department will successively issue early warnings to various fortresses on the border.
At the same time, we have also begun to activate the emergency response plan, release the Shadow Butterfly, and monitor the border area of Northland according to the established route until the Military Affairs Department lifts the warning. "
After hearing the old gentleman's words, Anthony's expression became a little solemn.
It is not a small thing that a big orc has escaped the monitoring of the empire's large war circle.
Although they also have a plan to deal with it, it is obvious that it is not as easy to use as the war magic circle.
Before Anthony wanted to ask anything, after explaining the current situation, the old gentleman continued:
"If the orcs have the means to circumvent the war circle but conceal it, then it is extremely possible Maybe they want to make a big move.
After our analysis, the Furnace Volcano not far away from the Furnace Castle may be one of their alternative targets.
According to your reports over the past two days. According to the information, someone in Furnace Volcano also discovered some things left by the orcs, right?”
Hearing the old gentleman's inquiry, Anthony nodded and responded:
"Yes, a few days ago, Brand and the library team used a powerful extreme spell, the furnace, to kill the orcs. Some underground lava channels in the volcano were revealed.
Our legions and adventurers found some weapons and equipment made by the tauren there.
Not only that, the orcs. The frequency of hauntings is much higher than before. We speculate that there may indeed be important items left by the orcs there."
The old gentleman nodded and said: "It is based on this information that we came to this conclusion. Inference, this is also the main reason why I contacted you.”
Having said this, the old gentleman smiled and added:
"Of course, it also has something to do with the fact that you happen to have a free screen. This thing is much easier to use than that troublesome magic communication device!"
